A Voice Cries Out
A Voice Cries Out Hymn Mp3 Download
Console my people, the ones dear to me:
speak to the heart of Jerusalem:
the time of your mourning is ended now,
the Lord of life will come.
A voice cries out in the wilderness:
Prepare a way for the Lord!
A voice cries out in the wilderness:
Make straight a highway for God!
Ev’ry valley is made a plain,
ev’ry mountain is leveled
the glory of God shall then be revealed,
and the nations will sing in praise.
A voice cries out in the wilderness:
Prepare a way for the Lord!
A voice cries out in the wilderness:
Make straight a highway for God!
A voice shouts: “Cry!” O what shall I cry?
All flesh is like grass and its flowers:
the grass may wither, the flower may fade,
but the Word of the Lord is forever.
A voice cries out in the wilderness:
Prepare a way for the Lord!
A voice cries out in the wilderness:
Make straight a highway for God!
Zion, shout from the mountain top,
lift up your voice O Jerusalem,
and say to the people of God’s own land,
“Behold, behold your God!”
A voice cries out in the wilderness:
Prepare a way for the Lord!
A voice cries out in the wilderness:
Make straight a highway for God!
The Lord will appear as a shepherd,
holding his lambs in his arms,
keeping his flock so close to his heart
leading them all, old and young.
A voice cries out in the wilderness:
Prepare a way for the Lord!
A voice cries out in the wilderness:
Make straight a highway for God!
Isaiah 40:1-11
Michael Joncas
